Chelsea’s decision to sack Thomas Tuchel after just seven games of the new season - and 100 days into Todd Boehly’s reign as owner - shocked the footballing world as Roman Abramovich’s legacy appears to live on in his American successor.
The Blues had won three, lost two and drawn one of their opening six Premier League fixtures this season but last week’s 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League was the final straw for Boehly, despite having spent £228.4million on new signings.
But the American businessman is already playing with fire once more as he risks losing fan favourite N’Golo Kante next summer for free, with the French midfielder already rejecting the club’s uninspiring contract renewal to his expiring deal.
